    After watching Rob and Ed talk about this stuff for years, it really seems like the exotic car rental business is one of the worst businesses to try and get into nowadays in terms of risk and profitability.

      Get insurance to back you, sell an obd2 cpu brick for rental cars so it's tracked by insurance. Have them offer buisiness discounts like USAA has safepilot app, progressive has snapshot ,etc.

  • @questioner1596
    @questioner1596 2 роки тому +2

    People who operate this way are why market crashes are so pronounced. If someone is under water on a loan and their income stops, their assets will be repossessed ASAP. The banks selling these assets cheap causes the average value to go down, causing more people's loans to go under water and it just dominoes. It happens with cars, houses, etc. In 2008 US property prices plummeted while Canada's only fell a smaller percentage because Canada had stricter lending requirements so there was less of a problem with defaulting.

    Rob didn't answer the one question I wanted to know.
    Not as the owner, but as the person renting the vehicle... When I use a site like turo that's person to person, what kind of personal liability am I throwing up for myself?
    I mean a lot of us are guys that just have a Subaru or some other bland pedestrian car and we rent out a $400,000 car for a special day... If some SUV is too busy with their iPhone to stop at a light, and totals out that car, our personal insurance is probably not going to be happy that we were not in a Subaru but we were in a Lamborghini...
    Or is that something we don't really have to worry about?

    • @osco4311

    Yes, exotic cars depreciate, but there are some exceptions. I only rent out Urus's; I have two, and they don't depreciate much. I bought them both lightly used from a Lamborghini dealership for about $200,000 each, and if I were to sell them both right now, my clients having added on about 10,000 and 15,000 miles, respectively, I think I could get my money back on the vehicles by maybe just taking a 10-20 thousand dollar loss.

    Another to watch for in the exotic car game, the track experience. You get to do about 5 laps in your car of choice. The cost very from as little as £60. Then it starts getting costly.
    Photos of you in the car. £40.
    Extra insurance so your not liable for the first £3.500 in damage. £40.
    There was another cost of about £40 but can't remember what for.
    So from the £60 you thought it would cost to nearly £200.
    Last but not least. Want to drive the latest super car join the BIG que or pick another,even though when you filled in your paper work you ticked which car you wanted to drive weeks before the event.

    You would have to be a fool to rent your super car. Chances of the renter getting into an accident are high that means your car will have to be fixed. It takes experience driving a car with 500 plus horsepower. A bad Carfax report will devalue your car. Along with you will have a ton of rim rash cases. If you are not use to parking a super car you will damage it. He is correct high miles destroys values of cars. Getting caught rolling back your odometer is a crime. Insurance companies and banks do not did on you renting your car. If you rent your super car to a movie production you can buy extra insurance.
